Hi,

The master is running fine. But the slave is using high cpu ~80% constantly  
for the past couple of hours. The following log fragement repeats. Any idea  
why?

Hey,

this exception basically only tells you, that an expected shard seems not  
be on this node. The question is merely, why this is the case. Do you have  
any other exceptions in the logfile of that node, which might give a hint  
for further problems?
